The animation is dazzling, but the movie at heart has the simple charm of kids' puppet show.
04/17/02
Shot through with an exuberant and enviable sense of its own brilliance, Toy Story will continue to impress long after its technical virtuosity has been upstaged.
12/10/01
It is the unpretentious imagination and energy of the people behind the story and the outstanding vocal performances that make the movie an instant classic.
02/21/01
Although its computer-generated imagery is impressive, the major surprise of this bright foray into a new kind of animation is how much cleverness has been invested in story and dialogue.

Top CriticThe film will intoxicate children and charm the parents in their company.

Sheer delight, exhilarating and breathtaking.
01/01/00
In fact, there isn't a funnier, faster-paced movie around, nor one that is more visually arresting.
01/01/00
The wizards at Pixar and Disney have created a film that is unlikely to be forgotten in the next few years.
01/01/00
Adult viewers also will have fun -- and not only because of the witty writing or the nostalgic trip back to the toy chests of our past.
01/01/00
The one big negative about Toy Story involves Disney's overcommercialization.
01/01/00
Cute, inventive, entertaining little toy adventure for young and old alike.
01/01/00
Toy Story is long on sentiment and short on story; but has anyone ever complained? Surely not when the characters are so appealing and the visuals so extraordinary.
01/01/00
Besides the eye-popping look of the movie, Toy Story offers a good tale told with zest and humor, which is a roundabout way of saying you'll believe those toys are real.
01/01/00
Computer generated cartoon fun!
01/01/00
Pixar has made a charming movie carrying their current plot concepts and animation techniques to what appears to be about the limit. Toy Story is a lot of fun.
01/01/00
The script, by Lasseter, Pete Docter, Andrew Stanton and Joe Ranft, is filled with clever gags that keep the two heroes at each other's throats and the plot on fast- forward.
01/01/00
It's a nice change of pace to see the studio draw magic from this modern tale about ordinary 20th-century kid Andy and his eager-to-please playthings.
